Objective To evaluate the effects of delayed cord clamping (DCC) on preterm infants with gestational age ＜32 weeks.Methods Literatures from January 1,1990 to April 30,2013 in Cochrane library,PubMed,EMBASE,China Academic Journal Network Publishing Database,Wanfang Medical Database and VIP Database were searched.Randomized controlled trials (RCT) of DCC in preterm infants with gestational age ＜32 weeks were screened and evaluated.DCC was defined as cord clamping in 30-90 s after delivery,and early cord clamping (ECC) (＜30 s) was as the control.Rev Man 5.1.0 was used for statistical analysis.Mean difference (MD) and 95％CI were used for continuous data while OR and 95％CI were for categorical data.Results Nine studies (11 articles) involving 373 infants were included.Compared with ECC,DCC improved hematocrit (MD=4.19,95％CI:2.97-5.40,Z=6.74,P＜0.000 01),blood volume (MD=11.70,95％CI:6.02-17.38,Z=4.04,P＜0.0001) and mean arterial pressure of preterm infants with gestational age ＜32 weeks (MD=3.11,95 ％CI:1.30-4.92,Z=3.37,P=0.0008),decreased the usage of volume expansion for hypotension (OR=0.32,95％CI:0.11-0.98,Z=2.05,P=0.04) and the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (OR=0.48,95％CI:0.25-0.92,Z=2.22,P=0.03).Meanwhile,DCC had no influence on the peak bilirubin concentration,the incidence of sepsis,patent ductus arteriosus,retinopathy and intracranial hemorrhage,also no influence on neonatal mortality on dcscharge,mental developmental index and psychomotor developmental index at seven-month old.Conclusions DCC might be a safe procedure to improve prognosis of preterm infants less than 32 weeks' gestational age.However,due to small sample size and lack of data on follow up,it is necessary to launch clinical trials with higher quality and larger scale to further evaluate the effect and safety of DCC.

Objective To study the role of lipase in inflammation in patients with acute pancreatitis.Methods Acute pancreatitis patients (n =200) were enrolled in the study.The patients were examined by computerized tomography and the severity of AP is determined by Blathazat Score.We assess the muhivariate-adjusted association of amylase and lipase with inflammatory markers of AP.We identified that lipase was more specifically correlated with AP progression than amylase,lactate dehydrogenase and creatitine kinase.Results We demonstrated that in AP patients,a doubling of lipase excretion was associated with 6.8％ increase of white blood cells (95％ CI,3.06％-10.5％,P ＜ 0.01),10.3％ (95％ CI,5.7％-14.9％,P ＜ 0.01) increase of neutrophil number but 14.8％ (95％ CI,2.3％-27.3％,P ＜0.05) decrease of lymphocytes in the blood,respectively.By contrast,amylase has no association with these cells.Both amylase and lipase had no relationship with triglyceride level in AP patients.Conclusions Lipase serves as an indicator for the severity and treatment of AP.

Objective To study the change and the significance of T-lymphocyte immune function in peripheral blood in population living in arsenic-contaminated area. Methods Fifty-three cases of patients with arsenism symptoms were selected into experimental group, inhabitants who had no chronic arsenism symptoms into control group in the endemic area of Shuocheng District, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province in 2006. Vein blood samples were taken and analyzed with SAP assay to measure the percentage of CD3+ ,CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells. Results It was found that the percentage of CD3+, CD4+, and CD4+/CD8+ [(41.89 ± 11.58)%, (25.60 ± 9.05)% and 1.02 ± 0.41] in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group [(68.38 ± 7.23)%, (39.17± 4.28)% ,1.69 ± 0.56, t = 13.61,18.72,14.79, all P < 0.05], while there was no statistical differences of CD8+ [(25.30 ± 6.85)%] compared to the control group[(23.54 ± 8.35)%,t = 3.07,P > 0.05]. The gender-related effect of arsenic on CD4+ and CD8+ was found by multiple linear step regression analysis(t = - 3.05, - 4.30, all P < 0.05). In case group, there were no statistical differences in CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+[(40.65±10.06)%, (24.48 ± 6.29)%, (24.52 ± 8.16)%,0.98 ± 0.25] between males and females [(43.07±12.96)%, (26.77±3.12)%, (26.50 ±9.32)%, 1.07 ±0.41, t = - 0.76,3.05,0.30,2.10, all P > 0.05]. Conclusions The immune function of T-lymphocytes of patients with chronic arsenism has been suppressed. It is of active significance to detect T-lymphocyte subpopulation in peripheral vein in patients with chronic arsenism aiming at estimating the function of cell immune and providing early diagnosis index.

Objective:To study the role of indocyanine green(ICG)fluorescence imaging in laparoscopic partial splenectomy (LPS).Methods:The data of 4 patients who underwent ICG fluorescence imaging technology for LPS at Beijing Luhe Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from May 2017 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 3 females and 1 male, aged 46, 41, 27 and 12 years respectively. The extents of spleen preservation were compared between ICG fluorescence imaging with ordinary white light during operation. The residual splenic remnants were tested with fluorescence imaging after splenectomy, which showed fluorescence fading indicating good vascular perfusion.Results:ICG fluorescence imaging was performed on 4 patients. The operation time ranged from 180.0 to 250.0 min, and the intraoperative blood loss ranged from 40.0 to 200.0 ml. The postoperative hospital stay ranged from 4 to 14 days. There were no serious complications. Postoperative histopathology showed: splenic cyst ( n=1), splenic hemangioma ( n=2), and splenic laceration ( n=1). Conclusions:ICG fluorescence imaging technology had a significant role to play in partial splenectomy. This study showed this technique to improve safety of laparoscopic partial splenectomy.

OBJECTIVETo describe the characteristic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance of cerebral schistosomiasis.

METHODSTwenty-five patients whose diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) schistosomiasis had been pathologically (n = 8) and clinically (n = 17) confirmed were randomly selected. MRI was performed on a Signal 1. 5T MRI scanner before and after the intravenous administration of gadopentetate dimeglumine constrast medium. We reviewed the MRI studies obtained at the time of initial presentation, as well as follow-up studies obtained during and after medical treatment.

RESULTSImmunological tests in 15 patients indicated schistosomiasis haematobium. Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images in 22 cases showed central linear enhancement surrounded by multiple enhancing punctate nodules, which appeared "arborized". Through operation and pathological examination, 8 cases had the granuloma formation of schistosomal eggs extensive surrounded by inflammation and venous congestion. And 17 cases were treated with praziquantel and corticosteroid therapy. And they were followed up for 2 months by taking MRI, which turned out to be complete resolution of the enhancing structure and edema. At follow-up, all the patients' initial symptoms also resolved.

CONCLUSIONThe specified MRI enhancement pattern of cerebral schistosomiasis is common in most cases of CNS schistosomiasis, so it should be taken account into the diagnosis of cerebral schistosomiasis.

OBJECTIVETo probe the recovery mechanism of Zhenggu powder (ZGP) on acute soft tissue injury in cell levels.

METHODSForty rabbits which established animal model of acute soft tissue injury with hammer hitting,were divided randomly into normal group (A), model group (B), vaseline group (C)and ZGP group (D). Injured part was applied external drug daily after model was made. All animals were killed after using drug for 4 days. The local tissue of injured part was taken pathologic study, and was measured the content of IL-1beta, IL-6, TNFalpha by ELISA method and TXB2, 6-keto-PGF1alpha by RIA method.

RESULTSMuscular tissue of group A was normal. But that of group B and C was aberrant,such as swelling and broken of muscular fiber or infiltration of inflammatory cell. Such histological change of group D was lightly and hyperplasia of blood vessel was found. The contents of IL-1beta, TNFalpha, TXB2 and TXB2/6-keto-PGF1alpha in group D were lower than that of group B and group C. On the contrary, the contents of 6-keto-PGF1alpha in the group D were higher than that of group B and group C. The difference of content of IL-6 between groups was not obvious.

CONCLUSIONZGP could promote not only the dilution and the transportation of inflammatory cell factors,but also the repair and the regeneration of the injured tissue structures. The therapeutic effect of ZGP was not relative to IL-6.
